Processing capacity and agility in operations
Ri Happy’s project to expand and modernize its headquarters and data center, located São Paulo city, began in January 2020, developed by SECUREWAY, Fortinet’s local partner. All existing edge firewall equipment was replaced with FortiGate next generation firewalls (NGFW), which had a broad and direct impact on application protection, external access control and visibility of generated traffic. The Fortinet Secure SDF-WAN solution based on FortiGate NFGW was deployed for web access and secure communication between headquarters and corporate systems in the data center, eliminating previously unavoidable conflicts in Ri Happy’s IT environment. “By enabling Fortinet Secure SD-WAN, we reduced the cost of using Internet links by 15%, increasing the connectivity performance of our networks and achieving 100% availability in the headquarters and data center. This brought us a huge gain in productivity and efficiency. In a competitive industry like retail, our systems must be active and running 24 hours a day, without interruption, both online and offline. FortiGate met all our requirements,” says Castro, CEO of Ri Happy, in an interview given to Fortinet in the first semester, access security for customers and corporate systems provided a very positive experience in terms of agility in purchasing processes”, adds Daniel Santos, the group’s IT manager.
More safety for employees
With the unexpected arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic, the company implemented a remote work model for all central office employees. This transition gave rise to a new need for Ri Happy to ensure endpoint protection for all employees working from home. “We suffered an attempted phishing attack and saw the need to promote secure remote access, immediately reinforcing the security of our emails and sensitive data”, says Santos. Thanks to the proximity and availability of the Fortinet and SECUREWAY engineering teams, in just three days, the company implemented FortiMail in its system, now counting on the most recent and complete protection technologies against common and advanced email threats, including anti-spam and anti-phishing, ransomware protection and data loss prevention. “The implementation of Fortinet solutions brought us more agility and security in our operations, thanks to the robustness of the equipment and greater processing capacity. Modernization was essential to allow our expansion strategy to remain strong and viable, in addition to making it easier in the management and protection of our network”, says Fabrício Ferrinho Soares, Head of Governance and Information Security at Ri Happy.

Improved visibility and accelerated incident response
With an increasingly complete and complex environment, our security concern at Ri Happy was improving risk management, improving overall visibility into your protection and accelerating your ability to quickly respond to incidents. By combining Fortinet’s FortiSIEM with SECUREWAY’s SOC services, the company gained broad control and visibility of all edges of its network, from IoT devices to the cloud, with speed in identifying attacks and agility in responding and Incident correction. As a key component of Forinet Security Fabric security operations, SortiSIEM provides in-depth insights into the performance, availability, and configuration state of other Fabric solutions (FortiGate, FortiSwitch, and FortiAP). Leveraging machine learning, FortiSIEM employs behavioral analytics and profiling to detect specific behaviors and anomalies that may indicate insider threats and compromised accounts or systems. “The support of SECUREWAY’s technical and commercial team and the high quality standard of Fortinet solutions were essential to making the project viable, fully personalized with our needs, objectives and budget”, praises the company’s Head of Governance and Information Security . “Service excellence was fundamental in this process and continues to be for any need that arises. We have great confidence in Fortinet’s solutions and are very satisfied with the performance of our networks.”
